I argue that This Is Reading alters perspectives by challenging what Leo Chavez calls the Latino Threat narrative. In so doing, the performance opens a space for a new, positive narrative and identity that acknowledges its Latino/a majority. I explore the impact of This Is Reading first through analysis of interviews suggesting a sense of human connection and a collective will to make change, and then by suggesting that the nature of conversations about Reading have shifted to using the language of story, indicating an understanding that through stories, people can alter their city's identity.","PeriodicalId":39019,"journal":{"name":"Storytelling, Self, Society","volume":"15 1","pages":"166 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46274009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An integrated textual analysis was applied to selected second stories in the commentary of one post. Tentative conclusions include: (1) second stories connect with, transcend, and recontextualize the first story; (2) compelling second stories become new first stories and even usurp the initial first story. Based on the relationship between second and first stories, this article further reveals how social media affordances facilitate as well as impede meaning-making, intimacy, and solidarity in the storytelling process. Additionally, this article also serves as a starting point to understanding Humans of New York's enduring worldwide influence as an iconic storytelling project.","PeriodicalId":39019,"journal":{"name":"Storytelling, Self, Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"244 - 262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43067013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis reveals that the tale has myriad overlays of meaning culminating in the understanding that the rooster serves as a heroic icon of the folk; the rooster challenges authority and, in carnivalesque fashion, usurps the dominant power and, thereby, reestablishes the rightful order of the world. The accompanying personal story of “The Lebanese Rooster” shows how life often follows a similar, though in this case tragic, narrative vein.","PeriodicalId":39019,"journal":{"name":"Storytelling, Self, Society","volume":"15 1","pages":"145 - 165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49210701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article outlines how the life story of one man living with dementia was gathered and used to achieve both of these. However, the benefits did not stop there. The work was undertaken as part of a research project that focused on how research evidence might be used in practice. The prevailing discourse of older people typifies them as passive recipients of care, not catalysts in the use of research in practice. This story outlines how a personal narrative “in-tune” with research findings can bring about research impact when the usual “research recommendations” often fail.","PeriodicalId":39019,"journal":{"name":"Storytelling, Self, Society","volume":"15 1","pages":"107 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45548047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Festival was established in 1980 by Ron Turner, then associate dean, College of Arts and Sciences for Continuing Education-Extension at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and Lynn Rubright, then a professional storyteller and professor of storytelling at Webster University. In 2019, the Festival reached 18,000 individuals; 15,000 were school students in levels pre-K through grade 12. The Festival's school program is held at various community sites and schools. In 2019, the Festival's school program involved more than forty regional as well as ten national and international tellers and reached over thirty schools. The Festival's public program is held at diverse venues, including the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Gateway Arch National Park, Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, Cahokia Mounds State Historical Site, performing arts venues like the Kranzberg Arts Center and the Lindenwood University Cultural Center, and public parks. With around 95% of its programming free to the public and all of its programming free to schools, the Festival is highly accessible. The Festival's outreach program also brings storytellers to prisons, youth detention centers, and hospitals. The St. Louis Storytelling Festival is currently housed at the University of Missouri Extension, the engagement arm of the university system with its land-grant mission to provide reliable and relevant research-based community education to Missouri's citizens. Specifically, the Festival is part of the MU Extension Community Arts Program, which supports arts-based community and economic development.In 2017, Dr. Overholser received the Dr. Ronald J. Turner Global Endowment Award for developing an exchange program for students in Taiwan to tell stories in St. Louis. Dr. Overholser has taught numerous different postsecondary courses related to popular expressive culture. She plays piano, harpsichord, and marimba. She holds a PhD in folklore and ethnomusicology from Indiana University.This interview includes excerpts from two conversations with Dr. Lisa Overholser. One took place on November 29, 2019. A second interview took place on July 1, 2020, after the St. Louis Storytelling Festival had been presented virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":39019,"journal":{"name":"Storytelling, Self, Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"126 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43612989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In examining this genre, I use the work of a number of instapoets, considering how this cohort create an aesthetic that is specifically built for this medium of dissemination. In a digital age, questions of identity and the ways in which we disseminate become more and more complex. In this article, I examine how instapoetry tackles issues of authenticity, particularly in light of the highly contentious nature of influencer culture and Instagram as a site that has a tendency to distort our vision of the world. In this exploration, I interrogate the tensions between these perceptions and an era of poetic expression that has been charged with favoring authenticity above poetic craft (Watts). This article examines the stories told by instapoets as well as the depiction of the self that is curated via the site. Finally, in light of all of this, I explore the potential of Instagram and instapoetry as a location for women's self-expression and self-representation in the digital age, and examine how this genre has allowed for a greater range of identities and self-expressions to be reflected.","PeriodicalId":39019,"journal":{"name":"Storytelling, Self, Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"263 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46761103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stories provide a glimpse into the life ways of the people and assist in the identification of remnants of their peace culture.

This has invited comparisons with storytellers telling in contemporary multicultural public contexts, such as schools, libraries, and community centers. This is often characterized as a difference between traditional and contemporary storytellers or between traditional and professional storytellers. Here these distinctions are questioned. Instead, a consideration of endocultural and transcultural storytelling is proposed.
